Victory Square Policy Plan and Guidelines

General Design ConsiderationsThe main characteristics of the historic urban form in the Victory Square area are:

• dense urban commercial pedestrian realm with narrow building frontages reflecting a 7.6 m (25 ft.) subdivision pattern;

• characteristic “saw tooth” street wall profile created by varying building heights;

• streetscape of late Victorian and Edwardian era commercial buildings;

• cubic massing, dense site coverage and robust continuous street walls with internal setbacks for light wells and courtyards;

• masonry as a predominant building material;

• features such as punched window openings and projecting cornices at the roof line; and

• contemporary architectural expression.

Victory Square is Vancouver’s historic downtown and the transition area to the Central Business District. Named for Victory Square Park, a significant public park and ceremonial space, the area’s primary streets include Hastings Street, Pender Street and Beatty Street.

As anticipated in the Victory Square Policy Plan (2005), the area has seen recent investment and redevelopment after years of decline, and has become a focus area for arts, culture and educational institutions. The mixed-use Woodward’s development, which opened in 2010, has brought renewed interest to the area around Victory Square, and it is anticipated that the area will continue to see investment into the future.

Policies

6.1.1 Facilitate compatible new residential and mixed-use development, while reinforcing the existing scale and character of the area.

• Support rehabilitation of heritage buildings, including residential (SRO) hotels.

• Encourage new development with a wide range of housing types, including market sale, social housing, secure market rental housing, and affordable home ownership.

6.1.2 Foster growth as an emerging centre for arts, culture, and higher education uses.

• Encourage ongoing programming of public and semi-public spaces, including Victory Square Park and the Woodward’s/SFU steps and Woodward’s atrium, to include locally relevant programming and celebrations towards building shared identity.

• Seek opportunities for the low-income community to access, use and benefit from arts, culture, and higher education facilities and institutions.

6.1.3 Support vibrant street activity through local commercial activities and enhanced public realm improvements.

• Review retail use continuity requirements on Hastings Street, through the development of a Hastings Street Urban Design Framework (see 6.0 Places, Section 6.6)

• Develop a public realm plan as part of Hastings Street Urban Design Framework (see 6.0 Places, Section 6.6).

• Improve the public realm with targeted investments.

DTES Plan Housing ObjectivesThe DTES is a vibrant and unique neighbourhood and is the historic heart of our city. Made up of a collection of neighbourhoods with diverse characteristics, the DTES has the highest housing need of any community in Vancouver due to the high numbers of homeless, low income singles living in Single Room Occupancy (SRO) hotels and families paying more for rent than they can afford in the private market sector.

DTES Total Housing Stock, 2003-2043

Key Policy Goals:1. Maintain 10,000 low-

income units but improve affordability and condition over time (to include SRO replacement and SRO upgrades)

2. Achieve moderate income market housing (rental & homeownership)

The DTES Plan (2014) sets out a 30-year vision to achieve housing diversity and social sustainability through:

• the provision of a range of affordable

housing choices for all incomes, including

social housing and secure market rental;

• affordable home ownership options both

inside and outside the neighbourhood;

and

• different housing objectives in different

sub-areas.

From the left: the Smith-Yuen Apartments (E Hastings Street) is purpose-built social housing for seniors, an example of rowhousing in Stratcona (Jackson Avenue), the Rainier Hotel (Carrall Street) is an SRO hotel purchased and renovated by BC Housing.

Housing Policies from the DTES Plan:

In market housing, unless otherwise indicated, require that a minimum of 25 per cent of units in new multi-family developments have two and three bedroom units for families designed in accordance with the High Density Housing for Families with Children Guidelines and located on lower floors.

Explore incentives to facilitate development of rental housing, particularly on small frontage lots (less than 75 feet), in the area including exploring changes to the Parking By-law to provide tools to reduce the amount of parking required on site.

Neighbourhood Fit EvaluationWhat is the Neighbourhood Fit Evalution?

• A tool that allows the community to assess how well a proposed development fits into the Downtown Eastside (DTES).

• Projects are assessed on their contribution to 9 DTES Plan social impact objectives.

9 Social Impact Objectives for new projects:

• Hires local people, including with barriers

• Purchases local and services

• Provides low-cost goods and services

• Includes the low-income community

• Fits the neighbourhood (heritage, scale, social and community context)

• Improves the quality of public spaces

• Retains or celebrates arts and culture

• Provides more housing options

• Provides community amenities, gathering spaces, or health and social services

DTES Community-Based Development Area: new development permits, some business licenses, and rezonings in this area are assessed with the Neighbourhood Fit Evaluation.

Why do we have this tool?

• Local residents wanted innovative ways to influence development in the DTES.

• This helps developments contribute to a healthy and inclusive neighbourhood
